i’m still getting my head around Zerk-Thatcher not being suspended for knocking out Naughton, but I can’t be bothered looking for a replay. Good to see there can still be accidents I guess.

Didn’t knock him out, surprisingly broke his nose but appeared unintentional contact. Probably should have got the same as Heeney - both off or both one week.

    My bad. I thought he was subbed out after failing the HIA?

    Yes he was diagnosed with concussion and will miss 12 days/2 games as mandatory precaution. Don’t think he lost consciousness though.

    What gets me is the inconsistency. 

    Hogan gets off

    Pendlebury gets off

    That bloke from Collingwood gets off.

    And this gets a week?

    1. Let’s not forget a similar action fractured Mays cheekbone and he didn’t plant for a couple of weeks.

    2. This get ms a week and I hate to bring it up again, but Maynard get zilch. [censored] how putrid is this game becoming. It’s a freaking laughing stock.

    Also, where was the Charlie Cameron "never been suspended" rule here?

    This is my entire issue with how ridiculous that decision was. Heeney is a more important player, with a cleaner record than Cameron, but he doesn’t get the rule applied to him?

    It hasn’t been applied since, and probably never will again. What an absolute joke.

    Whilst I don't think it deserves a week, I am happy as it makes the Bont one step closer to winning the Brownlow and I dropped money on that pre season 🤣

    so are you saying it doesn’t deserve a week or you think the brownlow rules should be changed back? 

    Both but definitely the latter.

    The front on video shows it was accidental light head contact, after a deflection from Webster’s hand.

    You can bet if he'd gotten off there would be just as many on here bemoaning the fact.

    Your point? That people do disagree?  

    Personally, I haven't made up my mind (probably because I can't be bothered - there are plenty of other MRO decisions which are so blatantly wrong/biased that I don't have the energy to engage with this one).

    Further evidence that the inconsistences of this Basket Case Russian Roulette of a system is a disgrace. NO WAY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED. I Feel for the young superstar 😇

    SHOCKING 🤮

    It's not very often I agree with you PF but 100% on this one. The inconsistency is breathtaking.

    Zac Butters and Toby Greene are both repeat offenders for whacking opponents in the stomach but that's ok as long as nobody gets hurt. Just fine them. It won't happen but I'd love one of these two to finish second in the Brownlow behind Heeney and therefore win it. Fairest and Best?

    Surely the AFL conspiracy theory narrative has him getting off - Brownlow to a northern state team, or at a minimum a gripping night at the Brownlow.

    Webster was holding him back from leading to the contest. Heeney swung his arm back below shoulder level to break the hold. Webster had slipped down hence the high contact. No way Heeney would have known his head was there.

    Not a fan of the suspension.

    Don't care about the Brownlow. Don't care much about Heeney either.

    If a bloke is tagging and scragging then he leaves himself open to getting wacked especially when his head position changed. (again a Brayshaw issue vs West Coast where there was some doubt about "shifting targets"

    Gus wasn't tagging anyone and did not get protected.

    He said sorry, and he is a good bloke, what more,  The vision of Blood coming from the other guys nose well, he was a wimp, should have got up and kept playing   clearly only a love tap,

    Webster did slip and faceplant into the turf unrelated to any impact. 

    100% certain were the “assailant” named Daicos (or Cripps) there would be “benefit of the doubt” nothing to see here.

    Christian used to appear on TV with his deadpan stare justifying either the charge or the exoneration - does he still do this?  Every time I saw him I thought he just looked as thick as ……

    Really classy comparing the afl to the Gestapo.

    What would you prefer, without getting 'political', as a comparison?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
